A pearl was descovered at the doctors office

yesterday 12/15/2010 was a good day I think,

I was going to my Doctor and got a pleasent suprize,when I made it to my PCP office to get a regular check up for my suprize he wasn't in but the receptionist was,she says to me (Dr.PCP) is not in today he had a family emergency to attend to,I couldn't be upset because I was a walkin,then she said (his wife is taking his paitents would that be fine)or would you like to reschedule I told her all I need was my weight Management form filled out and she says that Im sure she won't mind doing it ,so once I went to see my Dr's wife of course she's a heart doctor and she says I'm glad you come in,Its time for me to check you heart anyway,so I got the chance to explain to her that I wanted to have the Lapband put in and she was excited for me,that made me so happy because I was looking for a negative responce but It made me feel like I finally got someone to see what I was looking at,she says I think you would do very well with it, but 1 thing I want you to do (use it to change your like because you are very a beautiful girl now but with 100lbs less your husband would really see the pearl thats in the shell,I asked her if she would fill out the WM form she says definatly, She was wondering what was taking them so long to get me scheduled,I told her that once you go to the siminar you have to chose a surgeon,she asked me who did I choose and I told her,and she said thet I have chosen a wonderful doctor,and I have to keep in mind that this is a life change and to do Just as the doctor tells me to and I will have great success,just don't go back to my old ways because when you do something for 2 yrs make it a part of my life,and If I need to have a checkup on hy heart she would be more that willing to fill out the forms.......Thank you Dr G, with all your incurragement you have really made my day........

You can do it - just keep going and get it done -- I just got banded 2 weeks ago and have already lost 8 pounds and am feeling hopeful for the first time in years! I was also surprised that all of my doctors and family and my closest friends were all positive and supportive and not judgmental at all -- that was all I needed to keep going and get this done -- good luck to you and I hope to hear more from you as you continue this journey!

Thanks Deb,It seamed the more people that I tell the less I give in to the negative comments,I've learned to let the comments

be my incurragement,I've told my mom and she says well if you fell that this is what you won't to do,do it for you.and that is the most positive thing my mom has said to me in years and I've just turned 44,so I started to learned that this is my body and only one that I need to get premission from Is God because he's the only one at my age that I have to answer besides my Husband and he says as long as I feel that this is what I want to do then he;s all for it.....so thank you for the incurragement,,,,,,
